# 3 System Configuration

This chapter lists lists the Japanese-specific (J-specific) features in the System Configuration module of Argus Console.

## Configuring Commmon Profile Switches

This section describes the functionality for the J specific Common Profile switches.

A new tree-node has been added under Console > System Configuration > System Management (Common Profile Switches) >Argus J > Reporting as "Device Report Responsible Officer" with the following new switches in the exact same order as specified below:

- Company Name: Textbox, Maxlength = 100

- Department: Textbox, Maxlength = 100

- Address: Textbox, Maxlength = 60

- Telephone: Textbox, Maxlength = 50

- Fax: Textbox, Maxlength = 50

- Email: Textbox, Maxlength = 255

The existing common profile switch - "Offset from GMT used to calculate Japanese date/time fields for Interchange-J (in hours)" under Console > System Configuration > System Management (Common Profile Switches) > Argus J > Reporting has been renamed to "Offset from GMT used to calculate Japanese date/time fields (in hours)" to remove the reference of "Interchange-J" and use it for device reports as well as in addition to E2B.

#### Profile Switch for Incompletion Report Submission - Auto Action item

- When this action item is configured, the system creates an action item automatically when Incompletion report is submitted. (Mhlwadmicsrcompleteclass, 1=Incomplete, 2=Complete, Case Form/Analysis/PMDA/PMDA General/Incompletion checkbox)

- Blank (Default): if this option is present in the Action Item drop-down, the system does not create any Action Items for the Incompletion Report Submission (current functionality).

- Action Item drop-down (Codelist):

  - This option displays all the Action Items configured within the Code List Action type which are not deleted or allowed to be viewed.

  - If there is a value selected, the system creates an Action Item which would be Due in, as defined by you.

  - The Due in field allows you to enter up to 99 days.

  - The group assigned to the Action Item is Unassigned.

  - The Action Item is created as soon as the status of the Incompletion Report is changed to Submitted.

- The Audit Log tracks the updates made to this field.

- Once the Follow-up Completion Report is submitted, the Action Item associated to the report is Closed with the Close Date as the System Date (Server date).

- If the Follow-up report is still an incompletion report, the Action Item remains open.

- If the report is nullified (Nullification Report is sent), the Action Item is closed.

- When there are multiple incompletion reports from one case, the system creates the action items, which are same in number as that of the reports generated.

- The system prepends a default text in front of description (J): Incompletion Report: XXX where XXX refers to the text entered in the Description (J) field.

- The Group can be assigned using the Follow-up Action Item for Incompletion Report Submission Group Assignment profile switch.
